Re: New OSHA Document - IAQ in Commercial and Institutional Build...

[Guest guest]

Its a GREAT document. I am proud to say they cited our lil ole blog, Katy's Exposure, twice for reference of the truth of the matter. Did not cite ACOEM even once.

We blogged an overivew of the doc:

OSHA Issues Federal Advisory Regarding Poor Indoor Air Quality, Mold & Importance Of Building Maintenance | Katy's Exposure

Definitely a major difference in OSHA in trying to get legit scientific info out to where it needs to go since s took over.

New document from the Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration outlines importance of Indoor Air Quality inCommercial and Institutional buildings This important US OSHA "guidance" document concisely outlines Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) issues in buildings and reinforces the practical need for some core measurements (including VOCs, Differential Pressure, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide and Particulates), and for the ability to perform and document "walkthrough inspections". Although OSHA is not legislating IAQ, the guidance from this document is highly useful for any facility manager, industrial hygienist, environmental consultant, HVAC contractor or other professional that is involved with (or should be aware of) this vital issue.You can download the OSHA IAQ Guideline here: http://www.osha.gov/Publications/3430indoor-air-quality-sm.pdf
